Keeping track of EVs

I want to start EV training my meowth.

it is lv 1
Rash nature
hp - 12
att- 6
def- 6
s att- 6
s def - 5
speed - 7

im pretty sure 7 is max for a lv 1...

i want to know how to keep track of EVs

do 4 evs gained = 1 stat point?

whats the point of keeping track?

How do you know if it actually did anything?

i have tried ev training before on my lv 53 toxicroak, but no matter how many gastlys i killed my s att stat never rose, so i still dont know if ev training will work for me

should i keep track of the evs in a not book?

thanks
 
4 EVs in a stat = 1 stat point higher AT LEVEL 100. You won't notice any changes right away if you start at low levels, but as the levels get higher, you should notice that stat you've been EV training in is higher than usual. You want to keep track so that you know that you have the EVs in the stat that you plan on having.

EVs are gained EVERY TIME a Pokemon gains experience from battle, so your lv. 53 Toxicroak may have already maxed out its 510 limit on EVs earlier and therefore, couldn't gain anymore.

If you feel comfortable with them in a notebook, then by all means, go for it.
 
So if i were to rare candy my meowth to say lv 50 and record all the stat points it is getting and putting it into a calculator it would tell me what i need to EV train? and i will notice a differance?


im still a little confused as to if i rare candy a pokemon does the stats it gains from that need to be put in a calculator

and can i only see my final product at lv 100?
 
If you're giving your Meowth Rare Candies, then it isn't gaining any EVs. I don't see how plugging those stat points into a calculator will tell you anything of how to EV train your Pokemon. EVs are used to ENHANCE your Pokemon's stats, not entirely determine them.

If you were to write down its stats at level 50, and then EV train and level up to lv. 50, you should see that the EVs have raised its stats significantly.

Yes, you can only see your final product at lv. 100. That's the level you should be doing all battles against others anyway.
 
If i rare candy it to lv 20 will that impact on Evs?

So then if i rare candy to lv 50 record its stats, restart the game and continue ev taining from lv 20 i would see a differance?

sorry for asking so many questions its just i really want to get onboard with this EV thing
 
There is a very hi-tech method of keeping track of EVs, and it's very simple once you get the hang of it.

jk, its only paper.
 
Sure, every time you fight a pokemon, they give you certain EVS (you can find what evs they give by googling their dex entry)

Take down what EVS you have accumulated in each stat (max in each stat is 252). Its that simple.
 
Any level is fine as long as it didn't gain any experience before hand. Usually, you should be hatching your Pokemon from eggs, so the best is 1. Using Rare Candies is fine if you want it to be higher.
 
Yeah. Give the Exp. Share to the Lv1 Pokemon you want to EV train when you start out. Have your strong Pokemon defeat the wild ones. The one you're EV training will gain ALL of the EV's (it isn't split) by having the Exp. Share and grow levels without being exposed to danger at a low level.
 
Personally, I prefer having the level 1 Pokemon go out first, then switching it out. That way, I can use items like Macho Brace or the Power Items to speed up training.

Also, like experience, all Pokemon that participate in battle gain EVs. It's just that it isn't split/divided/etc. js
 
A decent HM Dump Pokemon?

I'm looking for a decent pokemon to dump HM moves onto.

I know geodude is good for strength and rocksmash

But is there any that can perhaps hold both fog and cut aswell?

Thanks.
